Seven years ago this month, the Editing team offered the visual editor to most Wikipedia editors. Since then, editors have achieved many milestones:
- More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.
- More than 2 million new articles have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019.
- The visual editor is increasingly popular. The proportion of all edits made using the visual editor has increased every year since its introduction.
- In 2019, 35% of the edits by newcomers (logged-in editors with ≤99 edits) used the visual editor. This percentage has increased every year.
- Almost 5 million edits on the mobile site have been made with the visual editor. Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the mobile visual editor in 2018.
- On 17 November 2019, the first edit from outer space was made in the mobile visual editor. 🚀 👩🚀
- Editors have made more than 7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor, including starting 600,000 new articles in it. The 2017 wikitext editor is VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode. You can enable it in your preferences.

Speedy deletion nomination of Slurp
edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Slurp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Kaisertalk (talk) 05:34, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Kaisertalk - that is called an "interwiki redirect". We have many of those on Wikipedia. They are usually provided when it would be helpful to point readers towards another Wikimedia project. "Slurp" may or may not be a viable title for an encyclopedic article (just like this title), but Wiktionary is going to be more useful to readers that search that term. I am okay if an admin deletes it anyway. But just letting you know in case you decide that you want to remove the tag. Aasim 06:35, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

xfdvote.js
editHi! Just saw xfdvote.js (since I have WP:US/L watchlisted). Looks very useful! If I could just point out a potential improvement, it would be nice if the script didn't leave a HTML comment at the end of votes it made, since many contributors to AfD use the wikitext editor and less clutter in the text area is always a good thing. Since the script uses the comment to detect whether there's an existing vote on the page, I would recommend just searching for a line in the page that starts with a * and no colons afterward (to exclude replies to other users), includes a !vote in bold, and has a link to the user's talk page. Thanks! Enterprisey (talk!) 19:42, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- Enterprisey, thanks for the suggestion! I will def consider it. You know of a regular expression that could do so?
- Hmm... maybe
\*.*\[\[User:will do it? Maybe I shorten the comment for now to just <!--VCB Username--> or something like that... Aasim 19:51, 18 August 2020 (UTC)- Checking that "User talk:" + username is a substring of the line would probably work okay as a rough check. Enterprisey (talk!) 20:13, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- Enterprisey, I shortened the comment. Hopefully that will stop wikitext from being cluttered. Aasim 20:14, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Just a thought...
editA floaty box in the middle of the reading pane of your talk page is really annoying. Primefac (talk) 01:08, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Primefac, would you prefer it at the top of the page? Or is that worse? Aasim 03:56, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Generally speaking, a floating box in the middle of the view window is problematic. Now instead of the bottom bits of conversation being covered up, the top bits are. Maybe have it floating either a little lower or a little higher? If it covers the last line of text that's not as big a deal, but covering up two lines a half-paragraph from the end is problematic in my eyes. Primefac (talk) 15:17, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Primefac, moved that floating text again. Is that better? Aasim 18:40, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, thanks. Primefac (talk) 13:37, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
